This hotel looks and feels different than your average hotel. It has a uniqueness about it. There is a drive thru coffee shop attached to the hotel. You can also walk inside the coffee shop, which is the same place you check in & out of the hotel. No hotel lobby whatsoever. Upon arrival we ordered from the coffee shop. Our frozen coffee drinks tasted incredible! Our bagels were little tough/chewy. The place was cute. Super fun lamp shade and wallpaper in the room. The room was very clean. I always check beds for cleanliness and bed bugs before I bring my stuff inside. Everything looked great. A few downsides worth mentioning: the parking spaces are directly in front of the doors which is super convenient but proved to be extremely disturbing to my sleep when people were talking loudly, laughing, and setting/unsetting car alarms at 5 a.m. The window shade lets in ALL the daylight and you can see the faces of people walking by the window. However, I couldn't really see INTO the room from outside, thankfully. Two teeny tiny trash cans: one by the entry door and one in the bathroom area. Both were very small and we definitely had trash overflowing in much less than 24 hours. We ordered from the coffee shop again upon checking out. Both our drinks were tasty and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious. Service was slow because people are ordering inside the shop plus in the drive thru and they didn't seem to be staffed enough to handle all of the business they were getting.
